Mayweather wouldn't split purse with Pacquiao

Floyd Mayweather Jr. said Manny Pacquiao is "not one of the sharpest knives in the drawer" and claims he won't face him unless his opponent agrees to take less than half the money.

Speaking at a news conference yesterday at the Apollo Theater in New York to promote his May 5 bout against Miguel Cotto for the WBA super welterweight title, Mayweather said of Pacquiao: "He faces Floyd Mayweather, he's not getting 50-50. Not at all. No one is getting 50-50."

Mayweather said Pacquiao should "take the test," a reference to his demand for random drug testing. Pacquiao sued Mayweather for defamation in December 2009, alleging Mayweather falsely accused him of using performance-enhancing drugs.

Vick's brother doesn't show up for jail term

The younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was sentenced to a 10-day jail term on a contempt of court charge in Newport News, Va.

Marcus Vick, a former football star at Virginia Tech, was sentenced on Thursday. The charge stems from his failure to appear at two court dates for a charge of driving on a suspended license.

A jail spokeswoman said Vick was to report to jail on Monday but hadn't showed up by midday yesterday.

• Texas Tech football coach Tommy Tuberville is being accused of defrauding investors out of more $1.7 million in Alabama following his tenure at Auburn.

A federal lawsuit filed on Friday in Montgomery, Ala., names Tuberville, John David Stroud and eight investment entities as defendants, claiming the two men "employed devices, schemes and artifices to defraud" seven plaintiffs from Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee.

The suit says Tuberville and Stroud misappropriated assets and falsified client statements and fund performance reports as they "unjustly enriched themselves" at the expense of the investors.

Missouri, Texas A&M pay millions to leave Big 12

Texas A&M and Missouri agreed to pay $12.4 million each to leave the Big 12 and join the Southeastern Conference in July.

Big 12 interim commissioner Chuck Neinas said in a statement that the agreements were reached "though a collegial, respectful process among the conference, its institutions" and the departing schools.

Texas A&M will receive unspecified benefits from the Big 12's new television contract with Fox Sports and "certain other concessions." The school president indicated that the bottom-line financial impact of the withdrawal settlement for the university will be $9.31 million.

Missouri waived any claims to revenue from the TV deal, which takes effect in July, and agreed to pay the Big 12 another $500,000 to cover officiating expenses for 2011-12.
